VeriWave Launches 802.11n Debugging, Trouble-Shooting and Unit Test Tool

(Product News, 25 Feb 2008)

VeriWave Inc. is expanding its wireless LAN (WLAN) performance testing and analysis to address the early development stages of 802.11-compliant devices with the new WaveDynamix application, which makes VeriWave's test solutions the first to extend from development through market introduction and live deployment of 802.11 networks. The new product allows developers to dramatically reduce the time to test for functional, integration, and field failure test cases.

The competitive nature and technical complexity of 802.11n wireless networks demands improved product quality and accelerated product delivery. Addressing this need, WaveDynamix offers developers unprecedented visibility into how new 802.11 devices will perform in live installations, early in the development cycle. Designed for developers of 802.11 chip-sets, drivers, management software, devices, and Access Points, WaveDynamix provides:

- The ability to test the functionality, performance, and exception handling of the wireless hardware before the software is integrated
- Step-by-step integration testing that facilitates the controlled progression and in-place troubleshooting of clients as they progress through the association and data transmission process
- Determine failure causality through real-time control and results of all clients and traffic in the test bed
- Concurrent generation and analysis of good traffic and attack traffic to validate protection mechanisms

WaveDynamix allows hardware developers to generate and analyze traffic without functioning software. As designs progress, Quality Assurance (QA) engineers can accelerate unit testing and integration with customized test scenarios and troubleshooting tools that quickly isolate failures. Finally, as new products are introduced, marketing and support teams can confidently predict and quantify performance to meet customer expectations.
